Ava

I'm sitting here watching him as he speaks to someone on the phone. His driver no doubt and I am nervous and excited both at the same time. I'm wondering what on earth I am doing agreeing to this dinner date. And I am also worried what might happen after dinner. Will I allow him to give me a chaste kiss or will I take us to the first base. I haven't dated not properly since before I met Mark and that was when I was nineteen. So you see it's been over five years. I am seriously out of practice.

Has time moved on so quickly that I'm out of touch with dating? I wonder if I should quickly Google modern day dating. I mean are the bases even the same? Do they have the same meaning? Only nowadays the world seems to be a bit sex obsessed and well I am a healthy woman and I certainly give my vibrator some action, but with a man so soon after Mark. Is it right? Is it normal? None of this is normal to me and to be perfectly honest, I feel exactly as I did on my first date all those years ago

    SebastianI can tell Ava is slightly drunk she seems more chatty and engaged. I actually think she is flirting with me and to be honest I haven't got a clue what I should do. It has been a beautiful evening. My friend Antonio has made the terrace even more stunning than I can remember. There are fairy lights everywhere, a hammock in the corner that to be honest I'd love to lay on with Ava in my arms. Just rocking gently away as the fresh evening air brushes our skin delicately and we stare up in wonderment at the stars.I love to look at the stars, I find them amazing, peaceful and a total mystery. The moon is not quite full tonight but nonetheless it is gracing the sky with its presence. Ava is telling me about her ex. The one I'd like to smack in the face. He makes me so angry that he has literally discarded Ava for being who she is. What angers me the most is him knowing that Ava's profession is lucrative as an influencer with a large on line presence and yet he has belittled it. A

    AvaI can't believe how brazen I have just been. I almost feel like a complete and utter hussy. Maybe it's the champagne, maybe it's Zoe's voice in the back of my mind telling me to have fun, let my hair down and get over Mark. Or perhaps it really is time that I throw a little caution to the wind and start to enjoy myself. So what if I am not staying in Spain for the rest of my life. I am here now, I've already decided that I'll stay in Malaga for longer than intended then I may even go to Santander or to Bilbao. Who knows, I have the world at my feet right now and I need to make the most of it. I suspect it's the champagne, the twinkling fairy lights, the gentle and romantic music piping through the speakers and of course an extremely hot man sitting right in front of me.I also don't think I can over-ride this feeling inside me. My stomach is nuts with fluttering, my heart is racing so much I can feel the pressure in my ears and my panties, well let's say that I haven't felt this w

    AvaWow is all I can think as he leads me into his penthouse apartment. In the lift my emotions ranged from feeling like I was on Cloud nine to dipping with a lack of self confidence and concern that I was making a big mistake. Like I said I really am not the sleeping around kind of girl. The fluttering in my stomach is relentless. "This is me." Sebastian says as he places a hand on my lower back. There it is again that warm sensation floating up from my stomach, up my chest and to my neck. I can feel myself becoming flushed and warm. He was the perfect gentleman on the way here and in the lift, just making small talk and am I nervous right now? You bet I am. More nervous than I have ever been even more than when I had to sit exams.What if he thinks I'm a terrible kisser? Right I need to stop that. All of a sudden I don't feel quite as merry as I did at dinner. The champagne buzz must be wearing off rather quickly. He reaches out to the left and places his hand on the wall. Lights

    AvaHis kiss lingers on my lips and then slowly, ever so slowly he moves his mouth along my jaw line each fluttering kiss ignites me and sets my heart racing. I swear I have never felt it beat as fast as it is right now. His mouth finds my neck and I literally push myself into him, my hands reach for the back of his head and I push his head further into my neck. He is biting and teasing me, it's delicious. I'm so aroused yet I don't want this bit to end. I'm in heaven.Sebastian stops kissing my neck and looks up at me. I swear his pupils have dilated that much his eyes looks almost black. Like black pools of lust and desire. It turns me on even more. To be wanted so fiercely by a man the way he clearly wants me, takes my breath away. I can feel him solid in his pants and I reach my left hand down to touch him. He gasps, I get wetter. I'm so wet I can feel myself literally dripping. "Are you sure?" He asks me his voice sultry, deep and sexy. I've never been surer of anything in my li

    SebastianI look at my mobile it tells me it is already five past six. The sun is just coming up and it will be a beautiful day. I glance down at Ava sleeping in the crook of my arm. Our evening together was beyond my wildest dreams. Who knew she could be so down and dirty. It actually took me by surprise how uninhibited she was and how she brought the same out in me. I have never been like that with a woman before. But with Ava, it was raw, real and passionate. She literally took my breath away. I have never felt like this before not even with my first love. My heart flutters as I look at her long dark eyelashes gracing her cheeks. The way her lips are slightly pouted, full and kissable.Not wanting to disturb her just yet, I gently slide my arm from under her head careful not to trap her luscious hair and pull it. She looks like an angel as she sleeps. My driver will be ready to collect me for seven this morning. I need to be at our flagship hotel by nine so we have enough time to m

    AvaI'm standing in front of what can only be described as a palace. Seriously their Malaga hotel is more than that. It's like something out of a movie. The car and a different driver this time, is driving us down a tree lined gravel drive. It seems have been at least five minutes since we came through the massive iron wrought gates, with a large G on both gates. Obviously the Garcia emblem. I can see a large stone building with a centre section that is rounded with arched windows at the bottom and middle sectors. To the top are square paneled windows and on each end of the building are two large square additions, with turrets. I realize I am not breathing as it is breathtaking.Directly in front of the hotel are sculpted water ponds and small mazes. It is magical. "Ava." I hear Sebastian's voice say and shakes me from my almost trance like state. "It's gorgeous Sebastian." He smiles and winks. Wow that wink it does funny things to my insides. I can feel butterflies again. This man

    SebastianMy meetings are taking up most of my time and I am wondering what Ava is up to. I am mentally distracted when I know I should be focused on what is going on in front of me. As soon as I heard the water issues are resolved, that we will still open on time with the infinity pools working too, well of course I switched off.This is not normal for me. Not normal at all but Ava, she distracts me every second of the day since I have first set eyes on her. I must have a word with myself and my heart because right now it is feeling all sorts of things that even I find difficult to understand. How can one woman come suddenly into my life and turn it so upside down? How can I the man with the guarded heart for over ten years, now be having such strong feelings for a woman I have just met? It is a wonder to me and Ava is let's face it an absolute wonder. Enzo is talking, I glance at him whilst idly playing with the Mont Blanc pen in my right hand. "So we are all systems go, Sebastian.

    AvaDo I mind that Sebastian has taken it upon himself that we will stay the night here in Malaga and made reservations? Of course I don't. I couldn't think of anything better right now. And to think my first impression of this man was that he was conceited, arrogant and a grumpy piece of work. How wrong could I have been? He has been nothing but attentive, caring and generous. I have not even thought of Mark since the flight here. I have been busy all day with sightseeing in Malaga, it has been heaven.I visited the spa and had a hot stones treatment and massage. It was divine and just what I needed. My guide I am assuming went and had a coffee during the hour I was being pampered. The photos I have taken of the sea, people milling around, drinking coffee, shopping and the children as they ran through the streets will be amazing when I upload them. I already have more than enough pictures to create a book. It is something I have been thinking of doing for quite a while. Zoe is the on

    Ava - Six Months Later I'm standing in a beautiful large suite with a terrace on which sit two white iron chairs and a round table. The view is across olive groves and lavender-dusted hillsides to the majestic mountains where last night I watched the most spectacular sunset as I gazed over the scenic Sierra Morena. I sat here serenely by myself thinking this is the best decision I have ever made. My insides are all a flutter with butterflies, my heart feels like it will explode with happiness and I have had a perma-smile for the last few months. Life couldn't have been more beautiful nor moved as quickly as it has. In just these few months I have moved lock, stock and barrel to live with Sebastian in his ranch just outside of Santa Fe. Nestled in a wondrous spot just outside of the town where he was born. It is a sprawling plot of land where horses can roam freely. We have goats, sheep and a couple of cows. Bella loves tending to them and recently Sebastian bought her geese and duck

    Sebastian “Hello my beautiful, American Girl.” Her face is a picture as her jaw looks like it has dropped to the ground. Her beautiful green eyes wide and now she is running toward me. Ava’s arms open wide and she throws herself into me. “Oh my God, how on earth did you do this?” I knew she’d be surprised and happy. It is the least I could do to fly the ten hours back to meet her for our return to Spain. I didn’t want my girl to have to travel to her new home all on her own. Not at all. This experience we should share together, like so many more experiences we will have in our lifetime together. This woman is precious to me, I worship the ground that she walks on, I love everything about her from the mole just above her lip to the hair on her head. Talking of which smells like coconut and lemons as she presses her head into my shoulder. My arms are already around her and I hold her into me tightly. It feels like we have been separated for months not just days. It’s felt like an eter

    TateWell that all went too quickly and now I have mascara smudged all over my eyes from crying so much after dinner which mom managed to make in record time. She’s already talking about Thanksgiving. I’m definitely coming home for that and Sebastian can put an army of bodyguards on me if he needs to. Although I am sure by the time November comes round, Mark will have moved on. Hopefully.Thanksgiving is one of my most favorite times of the year. We all get together and my mother’s sister and husband come over with their now grown-up children, Louisa and Denise. It’s always a really warm and fuzzy time of year. Zoe comes too but later as she always holds a Thanksgiving dinner for her special clients who don’t have anyone at the time of year. She’s so kind hearted and has never missed a Thanksgiving for them. This year she will have Nate to help her and that makes me feel warm inside. The thought of someone standing by her side.I hugged my parents like there was no tomorrow and Zoe be

    Tate I’m still in a sulk. I should be excited beyond belief to be flying back to Spain to see and be with Sebastian again this evening. It’ll be the early of the hours of course since they won’t be ready for me until seven tonight. Right when I should be going out with Zoe and Nate for dinner. I then have a wild idea of having them come with me to Spain and being flown back in a week’s time. Only that is a pipeline dream since Zoe has her business to run and Nate has patients to see. Mom has been frantic all day at the thought of me flying out later this evening. She’s overwhelmed to say the least and I get that, I really do. Dad hasn’t taken it all too well either and shot off to the golf course to hit balls on the driving range. It’s now eleven and I am still in my bloody pjs. What I need is to shower and get my shit together and head over to the apartment to pack a few things into my larger suitcases. You know like personal belongings I want before my stuff arrives, clothes, shoes

    TateI tried to ignore the message as best I could. Dillon left us around eight last night and Liam came to take over. He wasn’t the same build as Dillon by any stretch. In fact as I looked out of my bedroom window down to the front porch as he arrived, I’d easily say he could pass as a doppelganger for David Beckham. Victoria is a lucky lady, well not as lucky as me because I have Sebastian and he is in a league of his own. But nonetheless.Naturally, I went down to greet Liam. He is from Texas and has that lovely drawl thing going on. I showed him the latest message from my ex. “Don’t worry ma’am. We’ve got this. Ain’t nothing gonna happen to you, with me on watch. If he’s dumb enough to show up around here, he’s gonna have to answer t’me.”I felt reassured but I’m still freaked out this is even happening to me. Why can’t Mark just take it on the chin that we’re over? He is the one that ended our relationship. Or perhaps he can’t handle rejection. Maybe there is more to the split be

    Ava “Honey it’s so good to see you. It feels like you’ve been away for weeks and it’s only been a couple of days.” My mother rushes to me as I enter the cosy kitchen. As usual she is cooking and wearing her blue apron with her tied up in a messy bun. She looks so inviting and I allow her to take me into her arms and press me right into her bosom. I’ve missed my mom so much. She is right though, it does feel as if it’s been weeks not just a couple of days. So much has happened what with bumping into Mark, his threatening/nuisance messages, Arabella practically rejecting me and having a blinking bodyguard now of all things. Who, by the way I have left standing outside for the time being. Best not to overwhelm my mother in the first few seconds of arriving back home. “I know. It feels like it’s been ages too.” I say as I place my portfolio on the two-seater sofa in the inglenook in the kitchen and slip my rucksack off my shoulders and place it on the sofa too. It’s looking a bit jaded

    SebastianMy blood is boiling to the point I am so fired up I could punch a wall. It is not often I lose control like this but that man, he needs to be dealt with before anything happens. I know of men who have hurt their ex partners, stalked them and harmed them. It is an insane world and I am frightened for Ava.At least with my detail providing security for her, the man would need a shotgun to get past her bodyguard. You would think it would help to allow me to sleep better tonight, only it doesn’t. I need to have Ava here with me in Spain, like yesterday. Not in three weeks. Besides, I am craving her. I am craving her lips crushed against mine, our bodies together and her warmth underneath me.Even with all these thoughts of my American Girl I do not become aroused, my anger is so fueled that sex is the last thing on my mind. I will be viewing the ranch and meet with the current owner later this morning. Elena, my assistant has done well to narrow it down to just three ranches for

    Ava I stare at my mobile as the rage and anger fuels my entire body. This man, he just won’t let up. I swear if he was standing in front of me now, I’d easily punch him in the face. I’m not even sure whether to be concerned or just laugh this off. Only he is making me a bit shaky with the tone of his message. Moving away from the patio I step back inside the penthouse suite and read the message again. You had no right to run out on me like that the other day. I only wanted to talk and express how I felt. You’re not going to get away from me, Ava. I’m still in love with you. So, I fucked up. I realize that. But if you think I’m letting you get away you need to think again. I’ve seen all your social media posts with that man and he’s not right for you. I’m going to do everything I can to show you that he is wrong for you. I am the one that is meant to be with you forever happy after Not that jumped up son-of-a-bitch. I know where you’re staying here in NYC and I’ll be waiting. I mean

    Ava “Honey, of course it’s worth fighting for. Honestly, what is wrong with you? Just because his daughter doesn’t like the idea it certainly doesn’t mean she won’t change her mind. You’ve got to see it from her point of view, Ava.” I’m outside on the wrap around balcony to the penthouse back in the Waldorf Astoria gazing up at the sky as Zoe talks to me. Of course everything she’s saying is absolutely right. It still doesn’t make it any better for me though. “My heart absolutely goes out to her, Zoe. It really does. I couldn’t even imagine what it would be like to lose your mother. I’d fall apart if my mom died or my father, it’s gut wrenching. And I know the last thing she wants is someone new into their lives.” “Look take a deep breath, I know you’re gutted that you can’t move in with him, but damn girl. You’ll be living on his doorstep literally. A villa on the land sounds amazing. Sebastian will see you every day, you’ll spend nights together and get to know his little girl an
